    Perfection from start to finish. A perfection in letter and a deep and reflective stranded well. Birdy came to be marked with his sweet voice and charming simplicity

    Su voz, sus letras y sus melodías me recuerdan al otoño. Transmite sentimientos muy profundos con una voz muy dulce.

The only reason I don't give this girl a 10 is because I want to hear more original songs and not just covers, even thought they are brilliantly made.… Expand

    A perfect album, one of my favourite albums of 2012. She is a rising star and we will hear alot from her. so mature for a girl. Her ability to use the piano is astonishing. Amazing

    Birdy delivers a sensory music, touching, which takes us to the guts and that we never loose. I understand the repetitive melodies against him, but it creates a universe that is his. His voice is incredible purity, and I would say why, but it reminds me sometimes "Florence and the Machine". An aspiring actress, I hope at least.

    What's more of a problem for this album is the lack of variety between the songs. There are only so many covers of indie-rock piano ballads or rearrangements of indie-rock songs turned into piano ballads that a listener can take.

    The result is the most boring music ever recorded by a teenager.
